Tu partida no me mató pero algo dentro de mí murió ese día

Shhh y escucha. Recuerdo cómo yo también me hice callar aquel día después de que te fueras. ¿Oyes esos sonidos? ¿Los sonidos de la soledad y el vacío? Son los mismos sonidos que pude oír aquel día.

Algo dentro de mí murió ese día y me cambió para siempre.

I still remember everything perfectly. That picture of you leaving will remain in my memory forever. I can still see it like it’s happening at this same moment.

You came to me with the famous, “We need to talk,” sentence and I immediately knew that something bad was about to happen, even though I still can’t understand what the reason for it was.

Regardless, I didn’t see it coming. I couldn’t even imagine that you were planning on leaving me, to give up on our relationship, to forget all our plans and goals for the future.

Pronto ocurrió lo peor. Mi peor pesadilla se hizo realidad.

No, en realidad, nunca podría haber soñado siquiera que algo así podría haberme pasado a mí, a nosotros.

You know, you leaving me was always my biggest fear. I couldn’t imagine my life without you. You became my other half, my better half… my everything.

I’ll never forget the day I met you because it was the day I met love. It was the day I could hear my heart beating so hard that it seemed like it was going to jump out of my chest.

Fue el día que sentí por primera vez esa sensación de mariposa in my stomach. I hadn’t felt so peaceful or happy in a long time.

I wished that moment would last forever because I didn’t want that feeling to go away.

La gente dice que se puede saber mucho de una persona por la forma en que se va. I agree with this, actually, you proved to me it’s true. You showed your true colors when you decided to leave me for good.

I realized that all that time, I had the wrong image of you. The love I felt for you made me completely blind and that’s why I couldn’t see your true face.

Eras mi amigo, mi mejor amigo, mi compañero, mi amor, mi amante. Eras mi calma en el tormentoso océano llamado vida. Fuiste todo lo que siempre deseé y esperé.

Te idealicé y ese fue mi error. Para mí, eras la persona perfecta, el hombre perfecto. Siempre pensé que eras intachable. Olvidé que todos somos seres humanos y que ninguno de nosotros es perfecto.

Sólo Dios Todopoderoso es perfecto.

You claimed so many times that you loved me. You told me so many times that there was nothing in this world you wouldn’t do for me. Now, I can see that none of it was real.

Tu amor nunca fue real. You can’t say that you love someone and then destroy them.

You can’t swear that you love someone and expect them to believe it when tus acciones demuestran lo contrario de eso.

Now, you are back again. You are all alone and lonely and you want to ‘have the talk’ with me again. How highly must you think of yourself?

You think that you have the right to come back whenever you want and that you’ll be welcomed back?

Well, you won’t. Don’t try to sell me that story of how you needed some time or how you never stopped loving me. I don’t buy it anymore.

¿Te acuerdas? Conocí al verdadero tú y you can’t lie a mí nunca más.

Todo es mucho más fácil para mí ahora porque me di cuenta de que en realidad nunca fuiste digno de mí. Nunca me mereciste, ni mi amor.

Can you hear that sound? It’s so well-known to me. It’s the sound of your heart breaking. I could hear mine that day and for so many days after. A piece of my heart broke and it’ll never be the same again.

It doesn’t matter. Different or the same, my heart is still beating, I’m still alive and that’s all that matters. I’m so proud of my heart for everything it endured.
